Connect from BI, Reporting, & ETL Tools

The Dynamics 365 JDBC Driver is a powerful tool that allows you to easily connect-to
live Microsoft Dynamics 365 data through any JDBC capable
application or tool! With the Driver users can access Microsoft Dynamics 365 the same way that they would connect
to any other JDBC data source. The Drivers are completely self-contained; no additional software installation is required.

Technology Details

Enterprise-class JDBC Connectivity

The Dynamics 365 JDBC Driver offers the most natural way to access Dynamics 365 data from any
Java/J2EE application. Simply use the Dynamics 365 Driver to connect and access data just as you
would access any traditional database. The driver is completely self-contained - no additional software
installation is required!

Access Dynamics 365 data through widely available tools. The
JDBC interface offers the greatest accessibility to Dynamics 365 data from Java based applications and developer technologies.

Advanced wire-protocol SSL security for remote connectivity.

Faster application deployment and configuration.

Connect To Dynamics 365 From BI, ETL, & Reporting Tools

JDBC is the most widely supported interface for connecting Java-based applications with data.
All kinds of BI, Reporting, ETL, Database, and Analytics tools offer the ability to read and
write data via JDBC connectivity.

Dynamics 365 Application Integration

The Dynamics 365 Driver has the same JDBC architecture as the JDBC drivers for MySQL
and OLEDB, including Connection, Statement and ResultSet objects. Because of
this you can now access Dynamics 365 data in an easy, familiar way.
You can use the Dynamics 365 Driver through
popular IDEs (Eclipse, IntelliJ, NetBeans, etc.), in code through familiar classes, and in data controls available
through Swing, Eclipse SWT Widgets, etc.

More Than Read-Only: Full Update/CRUD Support

Dynamics 365 Driver goes beyond read-only functionality to deliver full
support for Create, Read Update, and Delete operations (CRUD). Your end-users can interact
with the data presented by the Dynamics 365 Driver as easily as interacting with
a database table.

Developer Friendly: Design-time support for all major Java IDEs, including Eclipse, IntelliJ, and NetBeans.

JDBC Remoting: Our exclusive remoting feature allows hosting the JDBC connection on a server to enable connections from various clients on any platform (Java, .NET, C++, PHP, Python), using any standards-based technology (ODBC, JDBC, etc.). JDBC Remoting is enabled using the popular MySQL wire protocol server.

Replication and Caching: Our replication and caching commands make it easy to copy data to local and cloud data stores such as Oracle, SQL Server, Google Cloud SQL, etc. The replication commands include many features that allow for intelligent incremental updates to cached data.

String, Date, Numeric SQL Functions: The driver includes a library of over 50 functions that can manipulate column values into the desired result. Popular examples include Regex, JSON, and XML processing functions.

Easily Customizable and Configurable: The data model exposed by our JDBC Drivers can easily be customized to add or remove tables/columns, change data types, etc. without requiring a new build. These customizations are supported at runtime using human-readable schema files that are easy to edit.

Secure Connectivity: Includes standard Enterprise-class security features such as TLS/ SSL data encryption for all client-server communications.

With the CData JDBC drivers, users can interact with Microsoft Dynamics 365 data from any client
that supports SQL Server or MySQL: from web & mobile applications, to CRM and CMS systems, BI tools
like SQL Server Analysis Services, and even through popular management applications like MySQL Workbench.

Access Microsoft Dynamics 365 data from virtually any application that can access external data.
Applications that can access SQL Server or MySQL data can now connect to Microsoft Dynamics 365 with this driver.

Use one of the standard client libraries for accessing SQL/MySQL from
.NET, Java, PHP, Python, Ruby, Objective-C, etc. to start your integration with Dynamics 365.

JDBC Driver Performance

With traditional approaches to remote access, performance bottlenecks can spell disaster
for applications. Regardless if an application is created for internal use, a commercial project, web, or mobile
application, slow performance can rapidly lead to project failure. Accessing data from any remote source has the potential
to create these problems. Common issues include:

Smart Caching

Smart caching is a configurable option that works by storing queried data into a local database. Enabling smart
caching creates a persistent local cache database that contains a replica of data retrieved from the remote source.
The cache database is small, lightweight, blazing-fast, and it can be shared by multiple
connections as persistent storage.

Auto Cache - Maintain an automatic local cache of data on all requests. The provider will automatically
load data into the cache database each time you execute a SELECT query. Each row returned by the query will
be inserted or updated as necessary into the corresponding table in the cache database.

Explicit Cache - Cache only on demand. Developers decide exactly what data gets stored in the cache
and when it is updated. Explicit caching provides full control over the cache contents by using explicit
execution of CACHE statements.

No Cache - All requests access only live data and no local cache file is created.

More information about JDBC Driver caching and best caching practices is available in the included
help files.

Getting Started with Dynamics 365 JDBC Driver

Working with the new Dynamics 365 JDBC Driver is easy. As a 100% pure Java JDBC Driver, the Dynamics 365 Driver
integrates seamlessly with popular IDEs like Eclipse, IntelliJ and NetBeans, as well as any Java/J2EE application.

Eclipse Integration - Data Explorer

As a JDBC Driver, Dynamics 365 JDBC Driver can be used to access and explore
Dynamics 365 data directly from the Data Source Explorers included in popular java IDEs.

It's easy. As a standard JDBC Driver, developers can connect the Data Source Explorer to Dynamics 365 JDBC Driver,
just like connecting to any standard database.

Add a new Data Connection from the server explorer and select the Dynamics 365 Data Source
